Warwickshire, England: Campey Turf Care Systems will enjoy a prominent presence at next month’s GroundsFest 2024 with a top-tier line-up of machines.

To be held at Stoneleigh Park in the English Midlands on September 10-11, GroundsFest bills itself as ‘the largest annual, free, must-attend event for grounds staff, greenkeepers, landscapers, designers and architects, gardeners, local authorities, estate managers and contractors’.

For Campey Turf Care Systems, GroundsFest’s blend of outdoor and indoor stands provides an ideal platform to offer visitors hands-on insights into the operation and benefits of its machines.

To that end, Campey is planning live demonstrations on the Imants ShockWave, Dakota Turf Tender, Foley Company Air2G2 336, and Campey UNIRAKE.

Lee Morgado, Campey Turf Care Director, said: “GroundsFest prioritises the visitor experience, and live demos are a key component. Showing the equipment in action is invaluable, and it allows us to solve more problems for people on the stand because they can physically see what our solutions can do.

“We can demonstrate performance, operational ease, and expected results, and that really allows us to engage with customers more effectively.”

For the 2024 GroundsFest, Campey has selected a diverse array of maintenance machines that cover aeration, top-dressing and surface grooming.

• The UNIRAKE stands out for its versatility in managing organic matter. Users can easily adjust the grooming severity to remove varying amounts of material or to stand the sward up for growth, with adjustments taking less than 30 seconds.
• The Imants ShockWave will demonstrate wide-area aeration. Renowned as the best linear compactor for heavily used areas, it revitalises fine turf and sports fields by alleviating soil compaction, enhancing aeration, and removing surface water, all with minimal surface disruption to ensure quick and safe play resumption.
• For reactive, preventative and routine aeration on smaller or concentrated areas, the Foley Air2G2 336 remains the leading pedestrian aerator. Its ability to deliver instant results and allow immediate play has cemented its place in the industry since its debut.
• Dakota Turf Tenders are renowned for their consistency and infinite adjustment set-up. With a model for every application, it offers top-dressing options in every situation. Electric control boxes enable users to set and adjust the spread width precisely, ensuring an optimal application every time while spreading wet or dry material.
• For areas needing over-seeding where it’s not possible to work with large machines, the Vredo Turf Buddy is the perfect fit. Designed for small repairs on sports fields and golf courses, the Vredo Turf Buddy is known for its precision over-seeding with its slit seeding operation. It’s an essential piece of equipment for improving and maintaining the quality of grass surfaces on golf courses, sports fields, and other similar areas.
• For even more targeted seeding post-game, the new Campey Seed Shot deposits a precise quantity of seed into the soil for optimal germination rates.

During the two-day event at Stoneleigh Park, Campey product specialists will be on hand to provide expert advice, talk turf and give live demonstrations.
